Aimed at freeing her mother, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), from Ava and Ric Lansing’s (Rick Hearst) blackmail over Kristina’s brake-cutting stunt, Cody’s flirtation with Ava — sparked by their recent kiss at her gallery — seems to be working.
But Ava’s sly assurance to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) that she can “handle” Cody hints she’s using him to make Ric jealous — or perhaps for a bigger game. Is Cody playing Ava, or is she pulling his strings?
Kristina’s Scheme Meets Ava’s Deceit
Kristina’s bold move to hire Cody to seduce Ava, hoping to fracture her and Ric’s blackmail hold, has fans embroiled in debate over who’s outsmarting whom.
Cody’s kiss with Ava, fueled by her fury at Ric’s rekindled spark with Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), seems to play into Kristina’s plan.
Ava’s confident claim to Nina that she’s got Cody under control suggests she is leveraging his attention to stoke Ric’s jealousy — or maybe more, like a power play. What do you think? Is Cody executing Kristina’s orders, or is Ava turning the tables, using him as a pawn in her own scheme?

Ava’s Game Threatens Cody’s Control
The stakes are bound to climb as Ava leans into her flirtation with Cody, her eyes gleaming with intent that goes beyond a simple rebound.
Cody is thinking he’s steering the distraction for Kristina, but he might be outmatched by Ava’s knack for manipulation, honed through years of outwitting foes like Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
It’s possible that Ava’s plan to “handle” Cody could expose Kristina’s scheme or ensnare him in a larger plot altogether.
Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vaganos) might catch wind of Cody’s motives and send him packing before they’ve even had a chance for lift-off. Is Ava playing Cody to her advantage, or will he stay one step ahead?

Who’s Really Playing Whom?
With Kristina’s plan hinging on Cody, we question whether he’s manipulating Ava or falling into her trap. Will Ava’s scheme to ignite the green-eyed monster within Ric unravel Kristina’s efforts to save Alexis, or will Cody’s loyalty hold?
The fans are hooked on this new romance either way, but it seems like Ava should be sharp enough to outshine Cody’s games. Is he overestimating his skill set as a con man — or at the very least, underestimating what Ava is capable of?
At the same time, some viewers are questioning whether Ava — in all her confidence — is underestimating what Cody can do. What do you think? Who stands to lose the most here, or will both of these parties somehow end up falling for each other?

The two seem to be playing one another in my opinion, but I do feel one will develop true feelings for the other during their game.
